[Mesorah] Hano'adim al Hashem -- a superfluous He ha'yediah ?

[MPoppers at kayescholer.com]

In response to Micha, al acharon rishon....
>> I think this pasuq's awkwardness isn't its heih hay'diah but rather the
seeming disjointedness of its two main phrases.... <<
> I think the pasuq is very real. <
No one said it wasn't :-).

> Your kids never did anything that leave you so angry and flabergasted
that you say phrases but not put them together into whole sentences? <
You ever say two whole sentences and then half a sentence?

I have no problem with the phrasing -- I do think that the last phrase's
rhetorical Q belongs more with the rhetorical Qs of the previous two
p'suqim, such that the "Lachein...!" exclamation in the first part of the
third pasuq is a bit of an interruption to the flow.  Not a big deal, but
worthy of note (and, just to emphasize what wasn't emphasized before, the
one exclamatory phrase twice uses the shoresh ayin-daled-heih, part of an
emphasis on it in the entire parashah).

All the best from
